It's a funny World this...
Travelled to Portugal and finally boxed up that Cessna 172R and it's on a ship, on its way to Denmark right now... From my understanding of navigation, I think that is the wrong direction for Thailand.
Oh well, while I...

Looking for a family room for 4 (or 2 interconnecting rooms) in and around Abbeville for a night later in the year if anyone knows a gem?
Driving down the country after being through the Chunnel and need one night B&B either end of our holiday....

As I had a FLYER free landing fee voucher it seemed rude not to use it; its only a short flight from my base airfield at Full Sutton. I have never been to Beverley before, criminal really as it is just up the road.

Continuing the January theme of currency, in the latest ‘The Flying VLOG’ we practice steep turns, PFLs, EFATOs and discuss the factors and scary thought of a real engine failure with the limited options.

Has anyone else flown much this winter? This was my first flight of the season a few weeks back. The weather's been pretty bad. I've had zero luck with work getting in the way and the aircraft being booked.

This was a EuroGA fly-in to Astypalea LGPL in Greece. We do a few of these each year and this was a rare extra long one. Greece has become quite difficult and much more expensive following the Fraport (a German based airport operator) takeover of...

A year in the life of a Private Pilot, culminating in an epic 2,800 nautical mile journey all filmed on a unique but powerful GoPro. For those of you wanting a career as a pilot or you fancy flying a small airplane! This is what it's all about....

I am looking for some new places to fly to if folk wouldn't mind helping out. I found a topic several months ago were someone asked the same question, but I cannot find this topic anymore. I don't even remember which forum it was on...

By late September I was planning a trip to Jersey, CI. I hadn't done much in the way of Instrument flying since my Newquay trip and even then that was in moderation to what flying I could face all the way to Jersey using the IR(R).

Hi
I want to visit Madrid next spring and land in cuatro vientos.Dis somebody that trip and do you have advises to give for the arroval and other general advises.
Last autumn I went to Valladolid,but no time enough to go to Madrid because we visited...

Another trip to the States beckons, this time planning to visit Utah and California and New Mexico. Mike and I are to depart from just outside Chicago and meet up with Jim and Mark near Kansas City before heading south-west.

I finally got around to bringing my Dad flying this June. The irony that it has taken three months to write this post is not at all lost on me. After all, it was over 10 years since my Dad last saw me at the controls...

One airplane, one pilot, lots of planning, severe storm winds, fog and heavy rain, 3 lads and a Cornish Pasty. What a trip, and what a weekend. The idea to fly to Newquay came about late April, early May shortly after I completed the differences...

This is my first real trip report and I know it's basic and trivial in comparison to more seasoned pilots who have been to far, far more adventurous places - I know I'm not doing anything new here. Anyway, I thought I would share this here, thinking...

Two weeks ago we did a trip to see the JAM. I'd thoroughly recommend it to any aviation enthusiast. It's not on the same scale as say Duxford, but the quality of the exhibits is very good. Lots on the development of the jet engine and the early jet...

Since the last attempts to get permission to fly in to Svalbard were declined by the Govenor, I have noticed that a new one has taken over the office - (Kjerstin Askholt is the new Governor of Svalbard. She came into office on October 1 2015.)

First off, I'm still 'half pregnant'. One of the forms I had submitted to the CAA was wrong and, after a fortnight they told me. That's now been corrected, and I hope that they will not tell me something else is...

I've not been flying as much as I'd like recently, only really getting up once every five weeks or so. This manifested itself as serious rust when I flew a couple of weekends back... It wasn't a flight I was happy with; my iPad not...

Some 15 years ago, I had my first ever trial lesson in a light aircraft from Andrewsfield, my local. I was too young to go solo at the time - or even reach the pedals - but I was hooked! Now, I've had my licence for 5 years and I finally decided to...

On Saturday 30 September, our club (based on an airfield with tarmac) took a few aircraft and did an informal landing competition: two regular landings and two power-off landings, one of which without flaps. One of our members produced this nice...

Having a spare day in central Florida and wanting to do something different, you don't have to do a lot of searching until you find Jack Brown's Sea Plane Base . Based in Lake Jessie, next to Winter Haven and less than an hour from Orlando...

At Portsmouth harbour UK. A favourite of mine; such a lot going on, but also busy and surrounded by allocated airspace. I was keen to see the new arrival HMS Queen Elizabeth currently being kitted out and set to work.
I, having spent some weeks...

Familiar to many, we thought a cycle along the sea front and a dip in the sea at Brighton might pass the day well, landing at Art Deco Shoreham and cycling in. Stiff south east wind so phoned ahead to check I could use grass into wind (mono europa),...

Flying's got to be the way to travel to Cornwall on a Bank Holiday weekend and over water surely.
For St Mary's Isle of Scilly the weather looked settled and cloud free for Sunday/Monday however St Mary's closed Sundays plus no fuel and Lands End...

After the Summer weather came to a classic British end, I decided to invite Sarah and her best friend Nelle; whom was on a study abroad programme in London to experience my love of flying. This is how the experience turned out for them!

Following on from leads via Flyer Forum (thanks Adrian et al) we have recently returned from an excellent week of exploring and flying in the French Alps operating out of Montmeilleur, Gap and Mt Dauphin airfields in our RV7.

Went to see the Versailles Palace on day 1 (cleared customs at Calais) and took the kids to Disney on day 2. Very friendly field to land at with minimal admin. Landing fees will be billed to my home address.
Great sight flying over the Versailles...

After quite a busy period flying, and 3 weeks without a vLOG I decided to look over the best bits very quickly and provide a directors style cut of my first ever international flight to Le Torquet, an interesting weekend to Newquay and a maintenance...
